Casey Affleck is aware that not everyone was excited about his 2017 Oscars win.

Sunday night, Hollywood applauded the actor's performance in "Manchester by the Sea." At the same time, some viewers couldn't help but express their disappointment at the Best Actor win.

"Can we check Best Actor again," actor B.J. Novak tweeted during the show. Constance Wu added, "Boys! BUY ur way out of trouble by settling out of court! Just do a good acting job, thats all that matters! bc Art isn't about humanity, right?"

In a new interview with the Boston Globe Tuesday, Affleck decided to speak out about the sentiments.

"I believe that any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is unacceptable and abhorrent, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and anywhere else," he shared with the publication. "There's really nothing I can do about it. Other than live my life the way I know I live it and to speak to what my own values are and how I try to live by them all the time."

In the weeks leading up to Sunday's award show, several articles brought up claims of sexual harassment stemming from a 2010 lawsuit filed by two women who worked with Affleck on the film "I'm Still Here."

Ultimately, Affleck chose to focus on nothing but positive things Sunday evening during his acceptance speech.

"I wish I had something bigger and more meaningful to say, but I'm just really proud to be a part of this community and I look out at all of you and I have this whole year," he shared inside the Dolby Theatre. "I'm just dumbfounded that I'm included. And it means a lot to me."
